We had such a great time on the Moonlight Tour of Rome! Dan was an amazing guide incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the history of the city. He shared so many interesting stories and facts that really brought the sites to life.
Seeing Rome at night made the experience even more special. The crowds were smaller, the monuments were beautifully lit, and the atmosphere was incredible. Dan also gave us some great local recommendations for places to eat and explore during the rest of our trip, which we really appreciated.
Overall it was a fantastic way to experience Rome and learn more about the city. Highly recommend this tour and especially Dan as a guide!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much, Anna! We’re thrilled you had a fantastic time on the Moonlight Tour with Dan and enjoyed seeing Rome beautifully lit at night, along with his fascinating stories and local tips. 🌙🏛️✨

Dominica was an excellent guide who provided an overview to Rome's history from its beginnings. At each stop she spoke in more detail about the history of what we were looking at. She was easy to talk to and answered everyone's questions.

She made the walk very interesting and two hours flew by.

Less crowds at night so a great time to see the sights and learn some history. Even though it was 2.5hrs the walk felt very easy and we were given time at each spot to take photos/look around.

Mona_C, Sep 2025
We were at the church last night, waited until 8:30 snd noone showed up. I do believe a refund is in order. We were terribly disappointed as we are from the states and will not be able to experience this again.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
We’re very sorry for the disappointment and understand how upsetting this must have been, especially for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We’d like to clarify that our meeting point is not inside the church, and our team tried reaching out for approximately 15 minutes to help locate you. Unfortunately, it seems there was a misunderstanding about the exact location.
We sincerely regret that this affected your experience and will review our instructions to make the meeting point clearer for future guests. Next time, please ensure you have an active communication method and contact us directly so we can assist you in finding your guide. We hope to host you in the future!
Phoebe_N, Sep 2025
Sharon was a wealth of knowledge and shared information you wouldn't get from a plaque or audio guide. Everyone in the group has a blast with her. She answered every question we had. I booked this tour last minute about 20 min before it's start and it worked out perfectly
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thanks, Phoebe! We’re so glad your last-minute booking worked out and you had such a great time with Sharon
BradleyZero_P, Sep 2025
Sharon was incredible! Amazingly insightful on history and facts but also fun and relatable in terms of delivery and relevance. Really felt
Like a knowledgable family friend showing you around their city. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Her enthusiasm and love for Rome was evident, and not jaded one bit.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you, Bradley! We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring Rome with Sharon — her passion and warmth truly make the city come alive.

Abbey_H, Jul 2025
It was a great tour filled with so much information about all the beautiful sites in Rome. Mary, our guide, was very knowledgeable, easy to understand and friendly. The tour never felt rushed. Going at night was a great because it missed the hottest part of the day.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thanks, Abbey! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Mary—she’ll be happy to hear your kind words. Exploring Rome by night really is something special! 🌙🏛️✨
Denna_S, Jul 2025
Excellent!! Sharon was amazing. So notable and helpful. She has a attitude and we walked slowly through town, but enjoyed all of her stories for stops. I also loved getting gelato on the tour!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you, Denna! We’re so glad you enjoyed the moonlit stroll and Sharon’s stories — and of course, the gelato! 🍨✨
Shannon_M, Jul 2025
Great walking tour with Dominica. She was super patient with our group and very knowledgeable. The tour was well planned and executed. One small issue- our confirmation said the tour started at 7:30, but it actually started at 8. We were confused when nobody arrived at 7:30. It all worked out. Dominica was very helpful. Great guide and great tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you, Shannon! 🌙 We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Dominica — she’ll be happy to hear your kind words! And thanks for the heads-up about the timing mix-up — we’ll double-check that. 🏛️✨
Paulette_N, Jul 2025
This was a great introductory tour of the major sites in Rome. You get a good lay-of-the-land and a lot of information about each site. Our guide was excellent, knowledgable, and friendly.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thanks, Paulette! We're glad you enjoyed the moonlight tour and found it a great intro to Rome 🌙🇮🇹 Hope it helped set the tone for an amazing trip!
Dmitry_S, Jun 2025
Very basic information just for first time comers. No deep knowledge from the guide. Some information was just misleading because I did fact-check on the wikipedia after.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you for your honest feedback, Dmitry. We’re sorry to hear the tour didn’t meet your expectations. We’ll definitely review this internally to ensure accuracy and a more enriching experience for all guests.
Molly_K, Jun 2025
What a wonderful way to start our vacation in Rome. We enjoyed our Guide (Kasia20) and walking in the cooler evening was so much smarter than during the day!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you, Molly! We're so happy your Roman holiday started off right with Kasia and a lovely evening stroll. Hope the rest of your trip was just as magical! 🌙🇮🇹
Aisha_S, Jun 2025
